The End Of Humanity?

Full Stream

Robert Scheer warns that he's never experienced such giddiness about war and nuclear war and warns "we are talking about the very real possibility of the end of the humanity." And he would know: "I'm the guy who talked to Ronald Reagan, uh, and the first president Bush about winnable nuclear war." Plus why he thinks the media has never before been so irresponsible and why it was easier to report during McCarthyism than now.

Bob Scheer is the publisher of Scheer Post. Scheer has written eight books, including two this decade: "The Great American Stickup: How Reagan Republicans and Clinton Democrats Enriched Wall Street while Mugging Main Street," and his newest book is "They Know Everything about You: How Data-Collecting Corporations and Snooping Government Agencies Are Destroying Democracy." He is a clinical professor of communications at the Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism at the University of Southern California. He has interviewed Jimmy Carter, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and others. Between 1964 and 1969 he was Vietnam correspondent, managing editor and editor in chief of Ramparts magazine.
